I don't think you can get the PB billet TC in a 2500 stall? I think the Billet TC by Performabuilt is 2800-5000 stall?
I just bought their lvl 2 w/ 3200 Billet TC....it's not going in until next month. I will post my experience after i install and drive for a bit. I do know my dealings to date w/Frank at PB has been a pleasure.

I have a lvl 2 and I have no complaints yet. I wish I would have got it at the same time as my new cam though. Now that I have my cam, I'll probably rod the crap out of it and it is out of warranty. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll hold up. If I really didn't think it would, I wouldnt have bought it in the first place though.

I have a lvl 2 that I got just a few months ago from Frank. Their support is awesome and shipping was fast. I had my tranny on my doorstep 6 days from the day I placed the order and 2 of them were a Saturday and Sunday. I have not had any problems with my tranny and I love how it shifts. The only thing I would say that some of the other companies have on Performabuilt is that with them you have to reuse your bellhousing and tailshaft. With some of the other builders when you get the tranny it already has a new bellhousing and tailshaft on it. For the price you can't go wrong with Performabuilt though as long as you don't mind doing a little removal and replacing. I however run a Yank SS3600 converter, not a performabuilt so I can't speak on those but I hear they are very good!!

I have been running a Performabuilt lvl 2 for well over a year now. I make 430hp NA and 608hp on Spray. The transmission is awesome and Franks has always been there to help answer questions even on weekends. My car runs low to mids 10's with the trans on 17-inch TT2's.

Other vendors have the bell and tail on the units because they also require a complete core from you,
Because we dont require a core at all that would not be a practical solution, However we do have these available at additional cost for those who do not have them as we can buy them separately ourselves .
